I practiced medicine in ancient times

The contents of the first volume of the Qing Nang Medical Classic are suitable for apprentices to lay the foundation and provide them with rich medical knowledge and practical experience.

Among them, the basic theories, diagnostic methods, treatment principles, and combination and interaction of Chinese medicinal materials are introduced in detail, and the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, as well as the acupuncture points of the human body are roughly touched upon.

In addition, the first volume of Qing Nang Medical Classic also focuses on practicality and operability. The book is equipped with a large number of examples and case studies, so that apprentices can better understand and master medical knowledge. At the same time, the language of this book is concise and easy to understand, which is suitable for beginners to learn.

After Xu Qingyi finished reading the first volume of "Qing Nang Medical Classic", he felt that the book was easy to understand and suitable for laying the foundation. If one can master it quickly, one can learn the whole book within a year, and it will take three years at most or two years to master it thoroughly.

Day two.

"Master, we have already finished making honey from licorice a few days ago. Please take a look. If there is no problem, we will take it to the warehouse for registration." Early in the morning, Zhong Yun reported to his master the progress of preparing the medicinal materials a few days ago.

The preparation of medicinal materials was done by Zhong Yun and several older disciples who led apprentices like Xu Qingyi, and taught them the experience and process of preparing medicinal materials.

Generally, after preparing a medicinal material, it is submitted to Master Zhang for testing. If there is no problem, it can be sent to the warehouse for registration.

However, the more finished medicinal materials are handed in, the more money the pharmacy will set aside as a reward to Master Zhang and his disciples after the monthly summary. Therefore, Zhong Yun and his disciples work very hard.

"Let me see it." Master Zhang nodded.

Bai Yan, who was standing by, was very observant. He pulled Xu Qingyi to the drying room to get the prepared roasted licorice.

"There is something in this roasted licorice." After Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan each took a basket of roasted licorice from the drying room, she narrowed her eyes slightly, put her nose close to the roasted licorice and sniffed it gently, and then she found that there was something wrong with the roasted licorice.

"It's dark yellow in color, and it doesn't stick to your hands. It's good. After you pack it, you can take it to the warehouse for registration." Master Zhang looked at the licorice root and fiddled with it for a while. Seeing that there was no problem, he asked Zhong Yun to take it to the warehouse for registration.

After Master Zhang inspected the pharmacy, he left.

However, after Master Zhang checked the batch of licorice and said there was no problem, the two apprentices in the pharmacy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bai Yan, I'm going to the toilet." After seeing Master Zhang leave, Xu Qingyi's heart raced. After telling Bai Yan, she chased after Master Zhang.

Coincidentally, Master Zhang bumped into Master Li, who was in charge of purchasing medicinal materials. This made Xu Qingyi stop in his tracks. Master Li saw this and asked, "Do you have something to say to Master Zhang?"

"This......." Xu Qingyi looked at Master Li and suddenly hesitated.

Just now when Master Zhang checked the licorice root, he said there was no problem. This time, I said in front of Master Li that there was a problem with the licorice root. This would be a slap in Master Zhang's face. If Master Zhang makes things difficult for me, a junior apprentice, I would have to bear the consequences.

"Master Li and I are cousins. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly." Master Zhang said with a frown.

"Master Zhang, when you were checking the batch of licorice just now, did you not look carefully?" Xu Qingyi said after thinking for a moment.

Master Zhang frowned after hearing this, obviously dissatisfied with Xu Qingyi's questioning.

"This is interesting. We have been dealing with medicinal materials for a lifetime, but now we are suspected by an apprentice. I don't know whether you have made a mistake or you want to attract attention in front of us." Master Li looked at Xu Qingyi playfully.

They have just been promoted to apprentices and dared to suspect that there was something wrong with the medicinal materials that their master had examined. I don’t know if this female apprentice really saw something or has other purposes. Her courage is commendable.

Master Zhang snorted disdainfully after hearing this: "If you say there is a problem, then there is a problem. Do you know how many years we have been dealing with medicinal materials?"

Xu Qingyi knew that in this situation, only facts could speak for themselves. She took a deep breath and said, "Master, the smell of that batch of herbs is not right."

Master Li and Master Zhang looked at each other with some doubt in their eyes. They also knew that if there was a problem with the smell of the medicinal materials, then there was probably a problem.

"Come on, I'll go with you to see the roasted licorice." Master Li said to his cousin.

Then he walked towards the pharmacy first.

"Zhong Yun, bring some more roasted licorice this time." After arriving at the pharmacy, Master Zhang hurriedly asked Zhong Yun to go and get the medicine.

"Okay! I'll go right away." The licorice root had been checked before, and his master came with Master Li to check it. This made Zhong Yun a little confused, but he didn't ask more questions.

He called four people and each of them took out a basket of roasted licorice and placed it in front of his master and Master Li.

As for Xu Qingyi who was standing aside, he simply ignored him.

"Let me take a look." Seeing this, Master Li took a step forward, looked, touched, smelled and tasted. His expression became more and more serious.

After checking one basket of roasted licorice, he also checked several other baskets of roasted licorice.

After a while, Master Li said to his cousin Master Zhang: "Take another closer look."

"Is there really a problem?" When Master Zhang saw his cousin's expression, he knew that there was most likely something wrong with this batch of roasted licorice. Master Zhang immediately looked at Xu Qingyi in surprise.

I don’t know whether this woman really saw that there was something wrong with this batch of licorice, or whether she was just lucky.

Afterwards, Master Zhang stepped forward again and carefully checked the batch of roasted licorice. After a while, Master Zhang frowned and looked thoughtful from time to time.

"Now you can see the problem with this batch of roasted licorice! How did you discover the problem with this batch of roasted licorice?" Master Li looked at Xu Qingyi with interest and asked.

However, such a large-scale inspection of this batch of licorice immediately attracted the attention of the apprentices in the pharmacy. Two of the apprentices' eyes flickered, and then after hearing Master Li say that there was a problem with this batch of licorice, the two apprentices suddenly became panicked.

However, before Xu Qingyi could reply, Zhong Yun interrupted and said, "How could there be any problem with this batch of roasted licorice? I personally prepared it with my apprentices and participated in the whole process. Moreover, the texture and color are the same as the roasted licorice prepared before, and it is consistent with what is said in the book. How could there be any problem?"

"No problem, I will come to check it a second time. Do you still want Master Li to come and take a look?

Just two days after being promoted to an apprentice, you can see that there is something wrong with this batch of prepared licorice. You have been learning medicine and making medicine with me for many years, but you didn't find it. What are you doing?" Master Zhang scolded his apprentice with a gloomy face.
